Looks pretty good to me!

Well, looks like another remake of a movie I really like is going to happen . . .

American Remake of Troll Hunter is onAh well . . . still, I urge anyone where it will be showing near them to go see the Norwegian original. It will be available for VOD next Friday, but will be opening in theaters in limited release on June 10th (I'll probably head ( Read more... )
